Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 311

* * *

They couldn’t have already sent someone, could they?

Chloe drove like crazy as she returned home.

Vroooom-!

On Ijo and On Jurim were taking care of the child, but what if they tried to take him away using my name?

Her heart grew anxious.

She had tried not to be swayed by emotions. Why did she keep developing affection for people?

This was exactly why she hated it.

As soon as she got off the elevator, she ran rolling toward the entrance.

Beep beep beep beep- Beeep-

Beep beep beep beep beep- Beeep-

Beep beep beep beep- Beeep-

Her slipping hands kept pressing the entrance keypad wrong.

Then there was a clicking sound as the door opened.

“Chloe unnie?”

Chloe, who had collapsed on the spot, pulled Han Gru into a tight embrace.

“CC?”

On Ijo, who came out belatedly, knelt down and checked on Chloe.

“What happened?”

On Ijo brushed back Chloe’s hair as she broke out in cold sweat.

Chloe met On Ijo’s gaze while still holding Han Gru in her arms.

“CC.”

In his expression, in his touch, in his tone of voice, concern for her was melting through.

“What’s wrong? It’s okay to tell me.”

At that tenderness, Chloe almost unconsciously started to open her mouth.

The research facility is deceiving you.

The Wasteland Project is proceeding in two branches, and we’re doing terrible things you can’t even imagine.

They’re going to continue experimenting on this child too.

You know? He might end up like the children who became idiots and were disposed of while trying to create you.

The words inside her felt like they would burst out.

At that moment, she spotted something dark inside the entrance keypad and covered her mouth.

It was a glossy black device.

A wiretapping device.

Her fingertips tingled.

The Company was monitoring her.

‘Just how long have they been doing this?’

Dozens of scenarios flashed through her mind all at once.

Was there really only one attached to the entrance? How many wiretapping devices were there inside the house?

Just wiretapping devices?

What if there were surveillance cameras too?

Was anyone following them?

It couldn’t simply be because of Han Gru.

Then the likely target was…

On Ijo.

If the Company had noticed her private relationship with On Ijo and was monitoring them.

To prevent her from revealing something to On Ijo?

Or to find out how far her private relationship with On Ijo had progressed?

It was possible.

‘Like getting pregnant with On Ijo’s child.’

Chloe clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.

“I think I pushed myself a bit too hard. I’m tired.”

Chloe spoke as normally as possible so the Company wouldn’t realize she had noticed the wiretapping device.

“Did you?”

On Ijo’s face looking at her with concern seemed ridiculous.

It’s all to deceive you and use you like a puppet. This isn’t the time to worry about me…

“On Ijo.”

“Yes.”

Chloe looked up at the ceiling once, then looked straight ahead again.

“Take care.”

I won’t tell him.

If she told him everything, all that she had achieved so far would turn to nothing.

Hadn’t she already experienced once how life could become meaningless because of love?

Chloe wanted to continue living a steady, unremarkable life.

Love was unnecessary for such a life.

* * *

That night.

Chloe lay in bed with Han Gru, staring at the ceiling lost in thought for a long time.

Han Gru stroked her hair and patted her chest.

What could she be thinking about so deeply?

When he opened the Guardian Registration window, the names On Ijo and Chloe Han were written there.

“Sister.”

“Yeah?”

“What if, hypothetically, you have someone you like, but you have to break up with them?”

“Yeah.”

“Is it wrong to like someone?”

“….”

The little one was asking a difficult question.

Chloe turned over to lie on her side and pulled Han Gru into her arms.

As soon as the warm body temperature touched her, a cozy warmth spread through her chest.

“Who do you like? You went to the kids cafe today, did you meet some little rascal?”

Han Gru burst into giggles at the word “rascal.”

“What kind of rascal? How old is he, hm? Did that kid you just met already want to break up?”

“It’s not like that.”

Han Gru, who had burrowed into her arms, wrapped his arms around Chloe’s neck and continued speaking.

“Even if we don’t want to separate, we have to, so he said we shouldn’t like each other.”

On Jurim had said.

Since we have to return to our original time period, don’t get too attached.

We’re just people who will forget all the time we spent together and part ways.

“Do we really have to do that?”

“…That’s a difficult question. What do you think, Han Gru?”

“I don’t really know….”

Chloe fiddled with Han Gru’s soft hands as she replied.

“Right? I don’t really know either.”

Would it have been better to tell him that loving someone you have to part with is indeed a futile thing?

Wouldn’t it be better to remind him that Chloe loving Han Gru and loving On Ijo would only leave behind empty loss?

Then Han Gru made a long “hmm” sound and said.

“Can’t we just like them anyway?”

“What if we have to part tomorrow?”

“Can’t we like them as much as we want until tomorrow comes?”

Chloe took a deep breath of Han Gru’s scent.

She also thought of the countless eyes of Han Gru in the research facility.

“Sister, it’s only two more nights until Christmas.”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s make a Christmas tree too.”

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

When was the last time I made a Christmas tree….

“Let’s sleep now.”

We need to sleep if we’re going to work together again tomorrow.

She couldn’t bring herself to say those last words.

When would the experiment proceed? Would they really open up this small head for the neuron transplant?

Chloe forced herself to close her eyes and tried to sleep to stop thinking any further.

Then, a small whispering voice echoed through the quiet room.

“Sister, Han Gru likes you very much.”

“….”

She felt her heart breaking as she sensed the child’s touch gently patting her body.

* * *

A day passed without her knowing how, and it was already Monday.

Today, whether they had gone to the Training Center, neither of the On Brothers were to be seen.

After spending several noisy mornings, today’s silence felt strange.

Every morning had always been like this, and she had even wished for it to become quiet again.

But now that today was actually quiet, she found herself wishing it were noisy – it was rather ridiculous.

Chloe carefully tied Han Gru’s scarf for work and anxiously looked at her wristwatch.

She had to take the child to the Research Facility, but her feet wouldn’t budge.

She wished someone would stop her. She wished someone would tell her it was okay, that they could solve everything.

Why wasn’t that person showing up today?

“Sister, Han Gru put on shoes!”

The child stood before her wearing Ugg boots that came up to her ankles.

Chloe suddenly touched Han Gru’s forehead and spoke loudly as if for someone to hear.

“Han Gru, you have a fever.”

“Huh?”

“You have a high fever. You can’t go to the Research Facility today.”

How much time could she buy?

A month? A week? Or just a few days?

“Don’t have to go?”

Han Gru’s eyes sparkled.

Had she really not wanted to go to such a place?

Feeling sorry for Han Gru, Chloe answered with a bitter expression.

“You can’t go because you’re sick.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll have to make you breakfast this morning.”

“Oh! Killer taste!”

“Right. Killer taste.”

Han Gru and Chloe looked at each other and smiled, showing their teeth.

She habitually tried to open the freezer, but the refrigerator was full of side dishes and food.

“There’s food to eat.”

“Oh, right. Uncle said to give this to sister.”

Han Gru fumbled and pulled out a shake container.

“Uncle said this is good to eat when you have indigestion.”

“….”

Chloe looked at the shake container and set it down on the table.

Then she took out plenty of side dishes instead of frozen pizza.

“It’s delicious.”

When Chloe took a generous spoonful of rice and said this, Han Gru giggled.
